Since switching from Intrepid to Jaunty I've had this issue ..
I'm running a server .... no X here. Server fails (stops responding) between one and five times as day. Sysrq works (allows me to reboot).

My system is PXE booted so I don't get anything in the logs if it keels over .. but pumping output to the console showed NTP updating and the kernel adjusting time immediately prior to the last failure.

dmesg reveales the same issue previously mentioned:
root@server:~# more /var/log/dmesg | grep "tsc unstable"
[ 8.660011] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -292912815 ns)

The issue manifests at various times but mostly under load.

I'm currently using Kernel 2.6.29
